What manage_wifi does on Unifi

AI agents call manage_wifi to permanently remove resources in Unifi — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Why manage_wifi needs a policy

The tool explicitly supports deleting a WiFi SSID, which is an irreversible destructive action that would disconnect all clients using that network. Even the update/create operations carry high blast radius (network disruption, security misconfiguration). Since the tool spans Write and Destructive, the most severe category applies: Destructive.
